Villas Were Built In Virginia As Early As 1825

Historic Huntley

Land holdings of George Mason IV came as far north as what is now known as Hybla Valley and Huntley Meadows Park

Thomson Mason, a grandson of George Mason, built the home pictured above on the property in 1825. The house, now known as Historic Huntley, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Virginia Landmarks Register, and the Fairfax County Historic House Inventory. Mason family ownership of the land lasted into the early part of the 20th century.

Individual sections of the land were sold for family farms, but eventually the federal government acquired the land closest to the home using it as a highway materials test site and World War II anti-aircraft battery.

When the federal government declared the land surplus it was deeded to Fairfax County. "Historic Huntley" was set aside and is now maintained by the Fairfax County Park Authority. However, it has not been restored and is not open to the public.
